Thanks for posting that link, Conan. Narfcake would enjoy the dog-themed set, but a review posted after these arrived last time raises some concerns.

So into the drier on low, and towels came out with pills, pills, pills, pulled threads, and clumps of thread. I'll be writing customer service in the morning, and include pics. Incredibly disappointed.

On the green ones. The picture matches my mats exactly. Sadly when I got them. The green is closer to the top bar of the regular woot.

2 bath towels? Try 6 and that would be a deal. I'm still stinging from the humidifier I bought 3 months ago on here that broke and is not replaceable. Woot at your own risk!

I just bought a set of microfiber towels here on Woot. The quality was substandard and the purchase price was not a discount (more likely a premium).

Save yourself the trouble. Better deals on better towel products are available at Target.

I was very disappointed.

Bought the purple set for the guest bathroom last sale and they look great. The color is exactly as it appeared on my screen. They wash and dry fine. They are very soft. No complaints here.

I'm in for another set. I bought one last time and I like it fine. The bath towels are HUGE. I've washed them a few times, and there is a little bit of 'pilling', but not much. I like them.

I got these for $35 a set last time they were on. The patterned towels are great - the solid towels still have lint balls coming off (after 4 washes).

Wished the specs would list the GSM (Grams per sq/meter). For an online purchase this would give the buyer an idea of the 'heft' of the towel.

protip: the backside endcaps is typically where they stow all their clearance (away from middle aisles). typically stowing the 70% clearance in the furniture section or bike section, at least the Targets in Houston do this.

Ditto!

In for the dog towels, looks perfect for sending with offsprung to college.

We got many sets of these last time they were on and we love them. Yes fuzz does come off, but so did it with the towels we got for our wedding over 15 years ago from a department store. I remember those defuzzing for months after getting them. I'm really happy with these, huge and soft. It's like drying off with a beach towel every day!

I got the purple set last time these were on woot, and I've been pretty happy. Interestingly, the solid set seems to be more absorbant and less linty than the patterned set. Very little lint, they have washed up fine without pilling. I'm in for another set.

A set is not this set. I bought three sets and love them for all of my bathrooms because they're all neutral tones of beige. No pilling washed in oversized front loaders. They're thick, soft and exactly what I wanted.

I have no complaints at all and I'm fussy about my towels. I plan on purchasing more and never buy towels in Target, I've never found them to be of excellent standard.

You really should not expect colors on your monitor to be anywhere close to 'true'. It requires expert calibration of monitors and cameras to get colors of photographed items true enough to use as a "match" on your screen.

I use two (uncalibrated) monitors regularly (my MacBook LED and an external monitor) and colors of items are very different when viewed on different monitors.

They forgot to mention word loops, that is 100% Egyptian cotton LOOPS. Not the same as just 100% Egyptian cotton.
